Ingredients

2 gilt-head bream (approx. 660 g)
1 organic lemon
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Pantry

1 pinch table salt
1 pinch ground black pepper

Preparation

1
Remove the fish from the refrigerator about an hour before grilling so it can reach room temperature. This ensures more even cooking.
2
Clean the gilt-head bream thoroughly and pat them dry. Score the skin several times lightly diagonally on both sides. Peel and press the garlic, then mix with the olive oil.
3
Season the fish generously with salt and pepper inside and out. Then rub with the garlic oil, making sure the garlic mixture gets into the incisions. If desired, place a few lemon slices into the belly cavity.

Grilling

1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the fish on the grate and grill for about 8 to 10 minutes per side, until the skin is crispy and the flesh easily separates from the bones. Serve the gilt-head bream immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

Tip

Use grilling tongs for fish to prevent the delicate skin of the gilt-head bream from sticking to the grate and to keep the fish from falling apart when turning.

Ein Spritzer frischer Zitronensaft kurz vor dem Servieren hebt das Aroma des gegrillten Fisches perfekt hervor. Dazu passen hervorragend Röstkartoffeln oder ein leichter Sommersalat.
